Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 180 Sissi, you are going to be famous!
"It seems you guessed wrong. This isn't some kind of romantic comedy movie. The hero and heroine didn't end up together."

"I admit that my judgment of the plot is a bit arbitrary. Perhaps we can go and watch it together when the time comes."

Jessica grabbed her laptop from the table. "But now I just want to know what that song in the trailer is!"

Lily came over immediately: "I also want to know, who is that singer? I really like her voice!"

Jessica typed in the movie URL at the end of the trailer.

Since Black Witch, North American film promotion has paid great attention to Internet promotion.

Generally, mainstream movies will have an official movie website to release all kinds of exclusive news.

"500 Days of Summer is this movie."

Jessica took a look at the movie poster to make sure they were not mistaken.
She glanced over the film's synopsis: "After the girl he thought was his soul mate dumps him, hopeless romantic Tom reflects on their relationship, trying to figure out what went wrong and how he can win her back."

After a pause, she became curious: "Sounds good."

Lily urged from the side: "Ge, find that song quickly."

Jessica flipped over.

Finally I came to the page introducing the movie theme song.

"Love Story", singer: Liu YiFei.

"How ironic!" Jessica couldn't help but complain, "The trailer said it wasn't a love story, but the theme song is a love story."

"Is this song in the iTunes Store?" Lily asked again.

"no!"

Jessica shook her head.

Lily was a little disappointed.

She angrily grabbed the notebook and wrote in the comment section of the movie's official website: "We need the song Love Story!"

Soon, someone agreed with her idea.

“We need the song Love Story!”

Everyone kept scrolling through the screen.
These people are just like them.
I saw the trailer during the commercials of a reality show.
As a result, I was attracted to the official website of the movie.

……

Rose Films.

“Traffic is coming!”

Distribution Manager Ma Lin showed Gu Bei the website statistics, "Currently, a large number of people have entered our website through the trailer.

Even though there are only a few thousand people, only a very small number of them can take the initiative to access the official website of the movie.

The actual trailer has affected more than ten times as many people as this.”

Gu Bei nodded with satisfaction: "Joseph and Zoe's interview on MTV will be broadcast on Wednesday night, right?"

"Yes, Wednesday night."

Marin quickly responded, “Their show on the CW network will also be on this weekend.

It's a public channel, so the audience will be much larger."

CW is like MTV.
These are TV stations with mostly young viewers.

The future DC superhero TV universe, Green Arrow, The Flash, Black Silk Supergirl, these series are all produced by it.

The main feature is that there are no special effects and it's all melodrama.

But when people are young, they just fall for this.

In addition to television networks,
There are also traditional offline advertising,
The most classic ones are the posters and roll-up banners in movie theaters (standing promotional posters).
More luxurious options include advertising spaces on buses and bus stops.

Each of these ads is actually not expensive individually, but since they are meant to cover the entire North America, the total cost is a huge number.

Millions of dollars in publicity and promotion costs,

In this environment,
The flowers really look like they are burning.

Gu Bei took a moment to look at his Xingyun's Facebook page.

This page he originally created for Xingyun has now become the largest gathering place for his fans.

however,
What did he see?
“We need the song Love Story!”

The short-term messages in the comment section were all this line of text, and for a while it formed a scale that flooded the screen.

He glanced at the group again.
I found that there was also a group of people discussing,
Why can't I find the song "Love Story" in the iTunes Store?

nonsense!

The promotion of the movie has just begun.
How can a movie soundtrack be released at this time?
The main course hasn't even been served yet, but I'm charging you for a serving of rice first, right?

It seems...it's not impossible!
Gu Bei showed these comments to the distribution manager Ma Lin: "Should we put Love Story on the Apple and Amazon music stores first?"

After watching it, Marin found that the official website of the movie also had the same voice.

He glanced at Gu Bei, a little anxious: "Will the trailer focus entirely on the theme song?"

This time, the release of the trailer cost a full $30!
Gu Bei was not worried at all.

The original 27 theater previews finally came out,

His version was screened in 266 theaters, so there was no way it could be buried.

But Marin dared not to worry.
I originally thought the data was very good and that I would secure the bonus this time.
As a result, everyone is concerned about the theme song.

My bonus won't be gone, right?

Ma Lin quickly stood up and said, "I'll go discuss this with my colleagues at SME (Sony Music)."

After a while,
Marin came back: "We think it's going to be in music stores and radio stations as well."

North America is a country of cars, and radio stations are extremely developed here, and radio is also an important part of publicity.

Gu Bei nodded.

He took out his cell phone and called Liu Yifei who was still on the other side of the ocean.

Before the conversation could be heard, Gu Bei said with a smile: "Xixi, you are going to be famous!"

Snapped!
The call was hung up.

Gu Bei: ???
He glanced at the time and it should be eight o'clock in the morning in Kyoto.

Who said she doesn't get grumpy when she wakes up?
Two hours later,
Liu Yifei called back.
There was a hint of laziness in her voice on the phone.
It was like a little crocodile that hadn't woken up yet: "Candy picked up the phone for me this morning and hung up for me."

"When you say this, do you believe it yourself?"

Gu Bei could already hear the sound of her trying to hold back her laughter.

"Okay, I was wrong~"

Liu Yifei acted coquettishly, "The crew is on holiday today, and I don't have any other work.

I heard you didn't have anything important to do, so I just wanted to sleep a little longer!"

Gu Bei stood up and said, "I'm just letting you know, singer Liu Yifei, that your career is about to have a second spring!"

"My first spring hasn't even ended yet!
I just terminated my contract with Sony, not quitting the singing industry!"

Liu Yifei was a bit skeptical, "It's just an OST, how popular can it be?"

"I guess it'll at least be on the bulletin board."

Gu Bei looked at the Los Angeles cityscape outside the window and said confidently.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yifei was originally skeptical, but now she doesn't believe it at all.

"How about making a bet?"

"Just bet."

"Then let's take the Billboard Hot 100 as the standard." Gu Bei said with a smile, "Xixi, you're doomed!"

Liu Yifei heard Gu Bei so confident,
She suddenly felt unsure and quickly added a bar: "At least you have to be in the top 50 to count!"

Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and pulled it: "Forget it, if this is the condition, then we have to increase the stakes!"

"Come on, come on!" Liu Yifei was indeed excited. "I'll text you the bet."

Short message?

Why do you need to send SMS when betting?
Gu Bei opened the text message Liu Yifei had just sent, which said [If you lose, let's go to the hot spring together].

Liu Yifei half leaned against the bed, playing with her hair with one hand, and asked shyly, "How about this bet?"
